What is the backbone of nucleic acid polymers composed of?
All marcomolecules (including nucleic acids) have a backbone of carbon.
What does a phosphate group look like?
A phosphate group is a larger molecule, where the phosphorus is single bonded to each of the four oxygens, and the other bond of each one of the oxygens is attached to the rest of the molecule, quite probably in a [nucleic acid] chain.
What ATP bond is broken to release energy?
ATP stands for Adenosine Tri-Phosphate. This means there are three phosphate groups stuck together on the tail of the molecule. Packing that many negatively charged groups together takes energy which is stored in the structure. When the bond between the second and third phosphates is broken, energy is released and the molecule becomes ADP or Adenosine Di-Phosphate.
Is RNA an organic molecule?
Yes! RNA is organic because it contains carbon.
Is phosphate the same as oil?
No, Phosphate is oxygenated Phosphorous and an oil is a chain of carbon that has a melting temperature below 25oC.
What is the backbone of nucleic acid polymers composed of?
All marcomolecules (including nucleic acids) have a backbone of carbon.
Which linkage forms the backbone of a nucleic acid?
A chain of sugar and phosphate groups, linked through phosphodiester bonds is the backbone of a nucleic acid.
Subunit of DNA consisting of a nitrogeneous base a sugar and a phosphate group?
nucleotide = in a nucleic-acid chain, a subunit that consists of a sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base. The subunit in a nucleic acid chain that consists of a sugar a phosphate and a nitrogenous base is a nucleotide.
What forms the backbone of the DNA double helix molecule?
The backbone of a DNA chain is sugar and phosphate groups of each nucleotide.
What is an antinucleotide?
An antinucleotide is a molecule that is structurally similar to a nucleotide but contains modifications that prevent it from being incorporated into a nucleic acid chain. These modifications can include altered sugar groups, modified bases, or altered phosphate groups. Antinucleotides are often used in research and medicine to study nucleic acid interactions or as therapeutic agents.
What does a phosphate group look like?
A phosphate group is a larger molecule, where the phosphorus is single bonded to each of the four oxygens, and the other bond of each one of the oxygens is attached to the rest of the molecule, quite probably in a [nucleic acid] chain.
What forms the back bone of a DNA chain?
The backbone of DNA is formed by linked alternating phosphate groups and deoxyribose sugars.
A molecular chain of nucleotides?
Polynucleotides is a chemical way to refering to DNA or RNA. The backbone of a DNA or RNA is an alternating sequence of sugars and phosphates. If the chain is DNA the sugar is deoxyribonucleic acid. If the chain if RNA, the sugar is ribonucleic acid.
How does ADP get recharged?
ADP is generated when the ATP molecule attempts to create energy and loses a phosphate group resulting in an ADP moleculle. You can remember this by Adenosine TRIphosphate(3 phosphate groups) and Adenosine DIphosphate(2 phosphate groups)
What are nucleotides made of?
Ribo-nucleotides [that make up Ribo Nucleic Acid] comprise ribose sugars, phosphate groups for chain bonding, and nitrogenous bases for information content and exchange. 2' deoxy-ribose sugar moieties comprise Deoxy-ribose Nucleic Acid. If a nucleoside is different from a nucleotide I haven't been able to find it. Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides. Each nucleotide is composed of a sugar + a phosphate + a nitrogen base. The nitrogenous bases are Adenine which pairs with Thymine and Cytosine which pairs with Guanine. Nucleotide polymers, (chains of nucleotides) are made up of nucleotides linked to the -OH group on the 3' carbon of one nucleotide and the phosphate on the 5' of the following nucleotide. The two chains in a double helix run antiparallel to one another.
What ATP bond is broken to release energy?
ATP stands for Adenosine Tri-Phosphate. This means there are three phosphate groups stuck together on the tail of the molecule. Packing that many negatively charged groups together takes energy which is stored in the structure. When the bond between the second and third phosphates is broken, energy is released and the molecule becomes ADP or Adenosine Di-Phosphate.

Yes! RNA is organic because it contains carbon.
